Hats! That reminds me. I hardly knit hats for anyone, anymore, but fleece hats are very fast and easy to make.
Here's a tutorial I did (when I used to blog, which was in the B.C. - before children - part of my life) for a fleece hat.

And a pic of my adorable daughter wearing a fleece hat I made for her last year, the basic type except to the "cat ears" points I added little fleece curlicue tassels.
